Exodus 21:12-15

12“1He who strikesH5221 someoneH376 so that he diesH4191 shall certainlyH4191 be putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191. 132Yet 3ifH834 he did not lieH6658 inH6658 waitH6658 for him, but 4GodH430 causedH579 him toH579 fallH579 into his handH3027, then I will appointH7760 you a placeH4725 to whichH834 he may fleeH5127. 145IfH3588, however, someoneH376 is enragedH2102 againstH5921 his neighborH7453, so as to killH2026 him in a cunningH6195 wayH6195, you are to takeH3947 him even from My altarH4196, to be put to deathH4191.

15“And one who strikesH5221 his fatherH1 or his motherH517 shall certainlyH4191 be putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191.
